Let's clarify what is covered under Creative Commons

The new seyDesign 2008 launch has been getting a great deal of media coverage and that's fine. However, it is being reported that:

"Users are encouraged to download, modify and improve these RapidWeaver themes and share them back with seyDesign and the general public. Themes there are covered under the creative commons license."
source: MacsimumNews among others.

This simply is NOT true and is an example of poor journalism if you ask me. The ONLY themes that we encourage this behavior for, and the ONLY themes that are covered under the creative commons license, is our Open Source themes (which currently only includes the "waVy" RapidWeaver theme).

I am terribly sorry about any confusion in this matter. It is clearly a case of misread press releases and extracting the bits that sounded the coolest.
